Easter Sunday



Dania ecited about the day, Nate contemplating the ensuing madness.




My brother finally brought his lovely girlfriend Lisa to meet the family, the whole family, Brave girl!



The following are all attempts to get a decent family shot.  Good luck uncle Warren.

"Luke, why are you rolling on the ground?" "Stand up, right here."

"No running, seriously, this is all I ask of you, just to do this for your mother."

That's better!

"Nate, why can't you smile? This is all I ask of you."

Now it was time to hide the eggs.



"Hello pretty aunt Sandi!"



Some chose to boss us around from the porch. Can you guess who the boss is?

The troops have been released.

The glamour shot of the day.

"Really mom, photos are pretty lame."

He reminds me of Peter Pan dreaming of neverland.

Out of whack!

The bike trip was yesterday, this was last week, and I still have Easter to do.  Evan won the Young Georgia Writers contest for his elementary school (5th grade) and here was his 4th grade teacher who was on the board congratulating him.  He did not make it to the regional level of competition, but we were very proud of him.

The Dragon and Deals Gap

This is a little cabin that we rented for this past Friday night, so that we could hit the road on the bike.  Our destination was to ride the tail of "The Dragon", and the surrounding roads.  This area is the number one biker destination and is only a few hours from us.

Nate enjoying the scenary and some trail mix on the back deck of the cabin.  You can't see it from the photo, but on the other side of the road right below us was a large river that we could hear all the time.

Relaxing on the back covered deck.

Oh yes! There was a hot tub that overlooked the river as well.

So many bikers were out that we didn't have any trouble finding someone to take our picture at the dam.



This is a major biker destination, Deals Gap.  It is the first and last thing you will encounter before "The Dragon" Every biker stops here to eat, look, and chat about bike stuff, and of course buy your Dragon souvenir.  It was surprisingly pleasant.

This is the tree of shame.  If you wreck on the Dragon you are supposed to put a piece of your wreakage on this tree.  I saw only one R.I.P, thankfully!

I was contemplating talking to this biker chic that was my age, had a bike exactly like mine, and gave Nate and I a run for our money before we stopped.  I never got the nerve though, she was too good for me.

Just some of the many, many bikes out this beautiful weekend.  It was also Mini coups on the Dragon weekend, so 600 of them were on the roads with us as well, and they were a fun sight to see all tricked out.

I really enjoy our bike excursions.  We live so close to many of the greatest riding roads.  I don't know if we fit the mold for bikers or not, but you can never judge a book by it's cover and I kinda like being a "biker chic", it doesn't matter how old you are the shared passion of riding transcend age and time.  We meet some of the nicest people out there, although some are a little hairy and scary.
